Trio behind bars after vicious assault on teenager on Southampton Common

A GANG of violent thugs are today behind bars after “luring” a teenager to a Southampton park and unleashing a frightening attack on him.

The unsuspecting 19-year-old was jumped on by a gang of eight men on Southampton Common, who punched and kicked him to the ground, before grabbing him by the throat.

Three of those thugs, Rhys Thornton, Adam McAlister and dad-of-one Luke Aldridge are now in prison, having left their vulnerable victim with two broken ribs and too afraid to go out on his own.

Southampton Crown Court heard how the victim headed to the play park at the Common on the night of June 1, after receiving a text from his girlfriend who asked him to meet her there.

Prosecutor Rachael Robertson told the court how the pair had been arguing over text messages earlier that evening.

Ms Robertson said that when he arrived at the park, which was in darkness, he noticed Thornton, 18, and seven other men heading towards him as he sat next to his girlfriend on a bench.

The court heard how they surrounded him and rained down a series of punches and kicks to his face and body, which didn’t stop when fell to the ground.

At one point, Ms Roberston said that Thornton grabbed the frightened teenager by the throat and said “If you grass me up I am going to punch your granddad”.

McAlister, 23, stole the victim’s mobile phone, while Thornton, of Pansy Road, in Southampton, rifled through his wallet but threw it away when he found nothing inside.

As the gang ran off, the 19-year-old headed to the Cowherds pub to call for help and was later treated at Southampton General Hospital for extensive bruising, a cut lip and two broken ribs.

In his victim impact statement read out to the court, the teenager spoke of his fear of that the gang would seek “revenge” and that he is now “scared of going into town” in case he bumps into them.

This fear was made worse when, five months after the attack, Thornton threatened to “smash his face in” as he walked down the street with his mum.

The trio, who all have previous convictions, pleaded guilty.
Judge John Williams said the gang had “lured” their victim to the Common and left him “shaken and frightened and scared to go out”.

He added: “It was planned, there was kicking, there was a group attacking a young man in the dark.”

How sad. Nothing justifies such an attack; he could have been killed. I hope he gains the courage to go out and about again, and eventually gains inner strength from the experience. My thoughts also go out to those who hold so much anger within them to unleash such an assault, and hopefully they'll regret their actions, say sorry and let the victim know there is no further risk. Overall, if we wish to prevent such events we must set better examples (not use violence under any circumstance other than in self-defence when it should still be kept minimal).

I personally experienced how much of a pathetic excuse for a human Rhys Thornton is while working at Delta Force Paintballing. He nicked a kid's entire paintball stash before the day had even started - which we couldn't prove and pretty much ruined the young guy's birthday. I've since seen him hanging around bus stops shouting at people walking past for no reason at all. "Yeah and what?! Walk away!" Was one such quote to a young couple who asked him to please move so they could get past. How dare they eh?! The humanity! I think I speak for the majority of people who know him when I say that it was only a matter of time until he got locked up and for the majority of readers on here - I hope he meets the modern day "Sisters" and they treat him and his little friends like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank, but actually go through with it. Repeatedly. See how "hard" they are then.

I was thinking the same as you. How did the gang lure him there when all the article states is that they approached him. the only way they could have lured him is if the girlfriend was in on it and text him to get him there alone. If so, ouch. And if so, why has she got off scott free? A lesson to her that she can manipulate others into causing ABH and GBH on another without consequence. I'm sure that won't escalate and lead to her trying bigger more violent things next time to truly exercise her power. However, if she was not involved then what did happen to her? Did they leave her alone? Did she try and call for help? Was she restrained whilst they attacked him? A bit more info in the article would've been nice, especially in lieu of the headline.

They will be inside for about as long as everyone has to be in court for the "hacking" trial. And all because Hugh Grant didn't like anyone knowing his arrangements for encounters with dusky maidens of the night.......Still it's all about "celebs". This human waste don't get the appropriate 7 years for a concerted pre-meditated group robbery because they're not "celebs" and Hugh Grant's peace of mind is infinitely more important than being tough to ensure peace on the streets of Southampton

So, 3 of the 8 are behind bars, leaving the remaining 5 to carry out the threat and punch the victim's grandad, as well as finish what they started with the victim. The police won't be able to prevent this, as they can only get involved if the bad guys have done something. Whatever did he do to deserve this? Surely it wasn't worth this.

So, 3 of the 8 are behind bars, leaving the remaining 5 to carry out the threat and punch the victim's grandad, as well as finish what they started with the victim.

I personally experienced how much of a pathetic excuse for a human Rhys Thornton is while working at Delta Force Paintballing. He nicked a kid's entire paintball stash before the day had even started - which we couldn't prove and pretty much ruined the young guy's birthday. I've since seen him hanging around bus stops shouting at people walking past for no reason at all. "Yeah and what?! Walk away!" Was one such quote to a young couple who asked him to please move so they could get past. How dare they eh?! The humanity! I think I speak for the majority of people who know him when I say that it was only a matter of time until he got locked up and for the majority of readers on here - I hope he meets the modern day "Sisters" and they treat him and his little friends like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank, but actually go through with it. Repeatedly. See how "hard" they are then.

i agree hes a total waster whos been on drugs for ages from a young age following in the footsteps of his family no doubt ,,no real education and thick as two planks..what a sad case,i hope his family are proud of how they raised a waster like him.

I think his mum must've read this because anyone who disagrees with either yours or my synopsis of this waste of a human clearly has DNA in common at the very least.

What about the girlfriend who set him up - they should lock them all up and throw away the key. Clearly only scum who will breed more scum that we all have to pay for. #shutityousl*g #scum #probablyfrompompey #hastagtrends
